E36 switches off when very cold

[calhan]

Hi Guys

I have a problem with my E36 328i. When the car is really cold, like early in the morning when the temperature is lower than 5degrees, she refuses to idle :cursin: and constantly switches off until she warms up, normally after around 5-10min of driving. I took the car for a diagnostic check and it didn't show any faults. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen and what I can do to rectify this?

Thanks.

Sounds like fuel pressure issues - check filter, return valve, injectors ect.
This is what TIS says to check.
